2010 ANNUAL REPORT Support Services Support Services provides the vital resources necessary to the Sheriff’s Office for fulfillment of its public safety mission. Support Services is a diverse operational group including the Business Office, Civil Bureau, Community Services, Court Services, Crime Analysis, Criminal Records, Felony Fugitive Detail, Human Resources, Public Safety Dispatch, Systems and Technology, and the Training Bureau. Civil Bureau The Civil Process section archives records using the latest Laserfiche product to scan paper reports and files, saving them in digital format for prompt retrieval. Field deputies serving civil processes are able to update civil records from the field using the mobile products associated with their Sirron, Civil Administration Software. The Civil Bureau conducts transactions in excess of $3.5 million annually on civil process cases. The bureau served over 7,500 processes in 2010. Public Safety Dispatch The Public Safety Dispatch Center fulfills the communications needs of law enforcement, fire, and ambulance services for 12 local government agencies, and is Santa Barbara County’s largest public safety answering point for 9-1-1 calls. Under the direction of a civilian Communications Manager, the Center functions with state-of-the-art technology, operated by highly skilled personnel. In 2010, the center received over 298,000 calls in 2010, of which over 45,000 were 9-1-1 calls. Every day almost 1,100 calls for service come into the dispatch center. 9-1-1 System Expands In previous years all registration and updated information was hand entered by Sheriff’s Office employees. The Reverse 9-1- 1 system was upgraded in 2010 to make it even easier to alert residents during emergency situations. Residents can now self-register by creating a password protected account that allows them to update or edit their own contact information. In addition to registering landlines and cell phone numbers, residents can include their email addresses and request TTY information for the hearing impaired. Information in the Reverse 9-1-1 system will not be shared for any other purpose. The registration link for Reverse 9-1-1 is at www.sbsheriff.org. Property and Evidence Bureau The Property and Evidence Bureau provides security and control of seized, recovered, evidentiary, abandoned and/or found property. The bureau handled more than 4,700 new cases, with over 1,000 of those 19 KEEPING THE PEACE SINCE 1850
elated to illegal drugs. They tracked the movement of evidence and property, handled the secure destruction of contraband, and the return of property to its rightful owner in excess of 5,200 cases. The bureau was also responsible for the destruction of over 6,000 pounds of unused medications from “Operation Medicine Cabinet” drop-off boxes and collection events. Top Ten Active Warrants The Felony Fugitive Unit “Top Ten Active Warrants” web page was created in 2010. The webpage prompted several tips that led to arrests. The Top Ten Active Warrants webpage, www.sbsheriff.org/ activewarrant, is similar to the Sheriff’s Top Ten Most Wanted Fugitive webpage, www.sbsheriff.org/ mostwanted, which generates tips from the community. Often times, the Most Wanted Fugitives have fled the area, and in some cases left the country. “The Active Warrants” webpage is different because a large number of individuals with outstanding warrants remain in the community and do not flee.
